balancing urgency with patience

April 7, 2020 — A Libra Full Moon arrives on April 8, helping us find balance between our courage, urgency, and survival on one hand, and love, sanity, and balance on the other. Relationship issues are heightened. Gentleness is key as we learn to better compromise, conjuring love and acceptance to offset our selfishness and anger.
With the world in a state of crisis, we’re straddling the line between our Aries panic and restlessness, and our Libran patience and gratitude. Libra rules paradox, and he reminds us to hold all that we feel in our hearts—fear, grief, frustration, peace, creativity, and appreciation of our loved ones.
In quarantine, we have the opportunity to become better friends and lovers as we grow more acquainted with ourselves. We’re also developing a deeper appreciation for what many of us don’t have access to right now—physical human connection and togetherness. This is a crucial time to reach out and support each other, in every way.
Our creativity is now heightened. We can harness this to survive in new ways, or to process our difficult emotions through art. If we aren’t able to work right now, we could take time to make our living spaces into sanctuaries, study, or pursue our interests.
Venus, Libra’s ruler, is in now in Gemini, where she will stay for many months through her retrograde cycle. Here, she’s giving us the chance to master the art of cooperation, and to blend our warm hearts with clear, cool logic.
In the realm of relationships, we can acknowledge and heal our anger, and clean the slate of past relationships—a theme that will continue through the summer. We’re getting ready to apologize for past harm we’ve caused, resolve old karma, and make peace with ourselves. The more thoroughly we restore our relationships and recognize our inherent, indestructible goodness, the better our chances will be of emerging from this crisis into a more balanced and loving world.
Meanwhile, we are taking this one day at time, placing one foot in front of the other. We’re generating strength, resiliency, patience, and love, as we face our fear and grief, and feel profound love for our world and those around us.
On this Libra Full Moon, may we embody sanity and strength, resiliency and compassion. May we merge our compassionate hearts with intelligence and precision, so we can build a more loving, creative, just, and kind paradigm.
These are incredibly trying times. Sending love to everyone, and hopefully you may find solace in knowing that the Moon’s rhythms stay the same, offering consistency in the face of tremendous uncertainty. The archetypes continue to guide us, helping us find shared hope and meaning amidst the world’s chaos.
